Ahorsewithnoname⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: B Ellison

10/11

Started her career in bumpers where she ran three times, with success coming at Sedgefield over 2m1f, prevailing by 14L. Made her Flat debut last time at Haydock (1m3½f), finishing third of 12. Up in trip here. Leading contender.

Form: 3

Detonation²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: S A Harris

125/1

Struggled on his debut at Pontefract (1m) where he finished 33L behind in eighth place of the 12 as a 150/1 shot. Was slowly away on his first start which did not help his chances. Taking a big step up in trip here. Needs to improve a lot.

Form: 8

Double Esprit¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: G Lee| T: D McCain Jnr

18/1

Was never in the contest on his opening start where he was ninth of 13 at Doncaster (1m2f). More can be expected this time with that run now under his belt. Stepping up in trip which is interesting. One to watch.

Form: 9

(4)

Gabrials Boy¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

5/1

Showed some promise on his debut to finish fourth of 13 at Doncaster (1m2f) after going off at 25/1. Shaped like he needed further in that opening start so this trip could be ideal for him. One to consider.

Form: 4

Magic Act¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston

28/1

Has had two attempts to break his maiden now but he has struggled on both of those occasions. He stepped up to this trip last time at Ripon but it did not help as he only had one horse behind him in a 10 runner contest. Hard to fancy.

Form: 59

(7)

Wadacre Galoubet

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

6/1

Born To Sea gelding whose dam won over 1m4f. Interesting newcomer from a top yard so keep an eye out for any market support behind him before the race. Confidence there would suggest he is set for a big run on debut.

Form:

(5)

Wolf Prince³⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: Miss A Murphy| BF

7/2

Finished second of nine of his debut at Thirsk (1m). He was then fancied to score at Brighton over 1m but had to settle for second again when going off as the 9/4 favourite. Up in distance here. One for the shortlist.

Form: 22-

(2)

Pound Off You¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: G Boanas

100/1

Was a long way behind when finishing sixth of 10 on his opening run at Ripon earlier this month after going off at 125/1. Needs to take a big step forward here in order to be in the mix in this contest.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Ahorsewithnoname (10/11), Wolf Prince (7/2), Gabrials Boy (5/1), Wadacre Galoubet (6/1), Double Esprit (18/1), Magic Act (28/1), Pound Off You (100/1), Detonation (125/1)

AHORSEWITHNONAME should be be able to transfer her bumper form to the Flat so take her to improve on her debut at Haydock where she finished third to land this novice contest. Gabrials Boy made a promising start at Doncaster on his opening run but this distance will suit him better so expect an improved performance, while Wadacre Galoubet looks an interesting newcomer on debut from a top yard so don't be surprised to see him run a big race.
